# IPEM at Parklife 2016

This weekend IPEM, the research institute in musicology of University Ghent, was present at [Parklife 2016](http://www.gentfestival.be/nl/programma/parklife-muziekfestival-voor-families-foodies-friends/83/). Parklife is a music festival with a special focus on interactive music installations aimed at children. Two of those were provided by IPEM.

The first installation was a trampoline that triggered sounds. Two trampoline were provided with a pressure sensor. An [Axoloti](http://www.axoloti.com/) provides the sonic feedback. A simple but fun experience especially for younger children.

The second installation was more involved. It consisted of a bike - controlled by a first participant - that provided the speed of falling blocks that a second participant had to step on. When the second participant triggered the blocks on time a melody appeared. The video above makes it more clear.
